Notes
Pro Tips
Baking. Do not over bake this recipe. Mrs. Fields Recipe are always served a little undercooked. You can bake until lightly golden brown if you prefer. Cookies tend to dry out faster and are best enjoyed within 1-2 days. Room Temperature Ingredients. Butter should sit on counter for an hour before mixing cookie dough for best results. Allow eggs to come to room temperature for an hour before using. Chocolate Chips. Use one bag Semi Sweet Chips and one back Peanut Butter Chips. Or use White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Chips. The combinations are endless. Additions. Adding pecans, macadamia nuts or walnuts adds to the recipe. Nuts tend to heat up the internal temperature quicker so adjust the time as needed.
